Children’s Miracle Network Radiothon: Edgar’s Story

At 13 years of age, Edgar -- who suffers from cerebral palsy -- knows a little something about miracles. Shortly after his birth in California, a seizure put him in a coma from which doctors feared he would never awaken. They recommended he be removed from life support.

But as his mom explains in the video above, Edgar's family didn't give up on him.

At age 3, after the family moved to Yakima, he started receiving services from Children's Village.

Today he's in speech therapy and he's learning to use an eye gaze device to allow him to communicate. In short, he's being given a voice.

And he's using it to advocate for Children's Miracle Network's Radiothon this Friday (Oct. 26). We'll be on the air asking for donations for 12 straight hours -- from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and we're counting on whatever help you can give.
